Chelsea just launched her new studio name "Sing With Chelsea," where she makes singing accessible to dedicated teens and young adults. When you visit her website she shares that she is a patient, passionate and holistic voice teacher. Caring about the whole person, Chelsea is a unique and coveted instructor.

Chelsea Camin shared with us that "...it's not just about technique, it's about the students' well-being. I think what has made me successful in this particular field is that I hold specific values that align with my studio. I care about the whole-person. I'm not a corporation. My students leave their lesson feeling fulfilled, inspired, driven and excited for the next week. It's important to me that my students are thriving and happy in their lessons. I place person over performer first. In doing that, I subsequently create amazing performers. When you feel confident in me and what we do together, that pours into everything else."

Chelsea melds her New York City training with her holistic side and created a curriculum that she is implementing this year to further enrich her students.

Her students also seem to be huge fans of Chelsea and could not imagine their lives without her, Priscilla Russo, a student for the last four years, (and recent lead at Smithtown Performing Arts Center) states, “I have learned so much from Chelsea, about my voice and about myself. I feel incredibly comfortable and confident that I have a teacher that only wants the best for me! Not only do I learn something new every lesson, but I can actually feel my voice and technique growing stronger. I know I can always rely on Chelsea as my teacher and my best friend!”

A parent, Alicia Assad states, "Chelsea is a cornerstone in our village. If you want to fill your days with music, Chelsea is available in any time zone.” Her daughter won a fast pass to America's Got Talent for 2020, and has been her teacher for the last several years.

Not only is Chelsea simply well-liked, she has the education to back it, continuing to uphold her NYS certifications, Ms. Camin is constantly striving to better her teaching methods.

Though Chelsea is operating with a currently booked studio, she offers masterclasses, one-off coachings, and is happy to help you discover your singing magic.
